Updateedit
The update API allows updates of a specific document using the given script. In
the following example, we will index a document that also tracks how many times
a character has said the given quote, and then we will update the times field.
'use strict'
const { Client } = require('@elastic/elasticsearch')
const client = new Client({
cloud: { id: '<cloud-id>' },
auth: { apiKey: 'base64EncodedKey' }
})
async function run () {
await client.index({
index: 'game-of-thrones',
id: '1',
document: {
character: 'Ned Stark',
quote: 'Winter is coming.',
times: 0
}
})
await client.update({
index: 'game-of-thrones',
id: '1',
script: {
lang: 'painless',
source: 'ctx._source.times++'
// you can also use parameters
// source: 'ctx._source.times += params.count',
// params: { count: 1 }
}
})
const document = await client.get({
index: 'game-of-thrones',
id: '1'
})
console.log(document)
}
run().catch(console.log)
With the update API, you can also run a partial update of a document.
'use strict'
const { Client } = require('@elastic/elasticsearch')
const client = new Client({
cloud: { id: '<cloud-id>' },
auth: { apiKey: 'base64EncodedKey' }
})
async function run () {
await client.index({
index: 'game-of-thrones',
id: '1',
document: {
character: 'Ned Stark',
quote: 'Winter is coming.',
isAlive: true
}
})
await client.update({
index: 'game-of-thrones',
id: '1',
doc: {
isAlive: false
}
})
const document = await client.get({
index: 'game-of-thrones',
id: '1'
})
console.log(document)
}
run().catch(console.log)
